lake
do I
focus
where do you
where does one
focus
water
an arm
a relative term
there on the surface
and then
in the depth
a mirror
high up in the tree
and yet on the flat surface
deep down
or is it
a lake
can I
focus
not
flowing
motionless and without that line
penetrable
focussing beyond that
focussing above
focussing below
focussing within
right in the midst
a focus where there never will be one
focus
do you
do I
do they
insepArable from that
on the surface
high up
and yet deep down
where to focus if nothing is there except that mirror
wondering where it is
floating on the surface
does the tree know that I see it
there
there within
looking down
to go high up
and the deeper down
the more they float
the more they fly
deep down in the sky
do you
do I
can we
grasp that vastness
neverending
